Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.
JAMES 3:18 (ABP)
Those who work to create peace in a peaceful way sow seeds of justice.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
If you want peace do things God's way.
DAILY FODDER
Why does peace through strength fail in the longrun?
PRAYER
Almighty God, Prince of Peace, great Counselor, I'm grateful that you have a peace plan. I regret that we ignore it because we think we know better. Override all our scheming and saber-rattling to subvert our antics with changed hearts. If we want this we'll look to you for direction. That is our only hope. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
